Can you split a kentia palm?
by Vicky-W- 1 follower

Hello! 🙂 I’m UK-based and have a few indoor palms that I love. My favourite is my large kentia palm, which I picked up for free (yay!) after a wedding - they were shipped in as decor and then not wanted so it came home with me. It was repotted about 5 years ago, and has sat in the same spot for the past 3-years which it seems to like. However, the palm is starting to look a bit sad - lots of regular new growth but brown ends on the frond's of each palm. It’s watered every 2-weeks and given palm feed too. Any advice on why it’s going brown? I’m also looking to repot it and, for the first time, have noticed that it could actually be four palms that have been…

Variegated Washingtonia Needs help!!

Hiiii, I have quite a large variegated washingtonia palm, 2 in fact. Both were repotted into 30 gal containers from 15 gal late last year with a soil mix that I put together myself. If i can recall correctly it was a blend of Pine Bark Nuggets, perlite, sand, fox farm ocean forest... 2:1:2:4 One of the palms seems to be doing okay but could be doing better has only pushed about 4 leafs since winter and the other one has no longer put any new fronds out. It looks to be dead as there is no longer any green left anywhere. They both receive full sun and get watered atleast once a week. I am located in Houston zone 9a. I am a renter so planting into the ground is N…

In the greenhouse today doing a bit of work spotting for weeds. I like to weed my palms every time I see if I see the tiniest smallest of weed I get them with a vengeance my number one enemy in growing palms and plants. So I don’t let them into my nursery doing anything and everything to eliminate weeds number one priority on top of all jobs. It’s called nursery management you have to do along with knowing what to when it comes to running a nursery cleaning up, watering potting up moving plants around pruning dead leaves and removing dead plants organising soil, pots, labels sales it all falls in different orders .weeding is number one job priority no matter what. Keepin…

I need help with my Areca Palm 2
by Lidia204- 2 replies
- 413 views
Hi! I'm back again. As some of you said on my last post that my areca palm has no chance of survival, I still have some questions. The plant is mostly dead as you can see in my latest post, but I will not lose hope. The palm still has 2 green strains and I need to know if there is something I could do (repot, change the soil, leave it be)? Any advice is appreciated ❤️20241027_175452.heic20241027_175439.heic

Needle Palm Deficiency?
by OriolesRock100- 1 follower
- 5 replies
- 267 views
Hello, my needle palm new fronds are coming out yellowish/lighter green with only some spots that are the normal dark green color. The old fronds all look okay color-wise. It has grown a lot this summer and even looks to be trying to send out its first pup (see attached pictures), so it seems to be happy otherwise. I think it must be a deficiency - did I not fertilize it enough during the summer? Is it too late to fertilize it now that we could be seeing our first frost this weekend/next week? Looking for any advice because I think I might put this in the ground in the spring since it should be fully hardy here in Zone 7A, so I want it to be as healthy as possible until t…

Time to repot already?
by JRVL- 4 replies

So I bought this Phoenix a few months ago from a grower and it was in a 7 gallon pot. I put it into a 15 and it's already showing roots on the drainage holes. I've seen advice on here that's typically when it's time to repot but it seems rather sudden to me. Any thoughts?

My 3 year old Canary Island Date palms are climbing out of their pots. I don't have any open ground to plant them in so want to keep them in containers. The containers are 40cm deep and 55 cm internal diameter. Location is in the south of the UK. A sheltered south facing patio. We very rarely get temperatures down to -6 in this sheltered spot. The last two winters I have wrapped them with fleece and dragged them into the alcove but they're getting a bit big for that space now so might just bubble wrap the containers and fleece up the trees this winter. So I have two questions. 1. Should I repot into larger pots? 2. Are the trees likely to survive …

I received the seeds from rps last October and have been putting them in the moss to promote germination. Only three had sprouted as of yesterday. Yesterday I accidentally noticed that the seemingly hard seed coat of this plant was very thin, so I broke the outer shell of three seeds to expose their bud points, and today I found that their bud points are all bulging.

Never give up on germinating

Planted these Chamaedora microspadix seeds in the spring from a summer 2023 batch I bought online. Was told countless times they would probably never germinate since this specific genus of palms do not produce seeds that have a long shelf life. But regardless, I planted them and kinda forgot about them. And now randomly they have decided to germinate in September Dont give up guys. ✌️

Areca Palm stems dropping, trying to save it!
by ArecaPalmKiller- 3 replies
- 807 views
I received a small Areca Palm in a wonderful vibrant condition about 5 months ago. Today I'm facing a real issue of leaves crispin' and stems dropping. Around 60% of the leaf tips are brown, some leaves have turned a greyish color and are hard and crusty, and a handful of stems have completely lost support and fallen over. I'm not sure what is the cause, no pests I can see. The stems (even the fallen ones) are green at the base. I water about once a week and very thoroughly, the pot has some holes in the bottom for drainage, and the plant sits in front of a window so gets indirect (and sometimes direct) sun all day. I fertilized it for the first time about two m…

My nursery starting to get there
by happypalms- 4 replies
- 259 views
I stared my nursery up about 4 and a bit years ago when the world was going in a strange direction. With plenty of time I thought I might as well start my nursery again after having one twenty years ago. Life got in the way of that original project, so giving it a go again. It takes about five years to get your plants up to plantable sale size. Iam on a ten year plan with choosing slow rare exotics as my main sales strategy. It’s a hobby that has been taken on a passion for palms and rare plants. And there is always something to pot up and maintain. Growing most plants from seeds or buying small year old germinated plants or whatever is available. A fun hobby to have that…

Dypsis plumosa -- sprouting seeds 1 2

Howdyall, spring is coming soon hip hip hooray! And, my thoughts turn to lust - palm lust. Some of you may have received some free Dypsis plumosa seed I sent a while back. I kept a few, threw them in a pot and they germinated. Here's one of the babies in my hairy, average size man's mitt. Note the long root, that dives straight down, then jogs a bit where it hit the bottom of the pot. Handle them with care, don't break that root and don't knock the seed off the plant. They don't always die when that happens, but it sets them back. So, I hope some of you have gotten some of yours to sprout! Konstantin, how are yours over there in Greece? I know I sent o…
